SIMPLE HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.
By American Magazine
SLEEPING-ROOMS should have a plentiful supply of pure air, which is best obtained by opening windows. “But night air is not wholesome this damp weather,” said a gentleman, lately. “My dear sir, what other kind of air is there in the night but night air?” was the reply. After a winter’s depression of vital tone and exposure to Arctic blizzards, a plentiful supply of oxygen is doubly necessary, and there should be no hindrance to free circulation of air while voluntary life is still. If everyone would take half a dozen deep inhalations twice or three times daily, beginning with the arms hanging down and an empty chest, and gradually raising the arms until, when the lungs are full, they are stretched directly upwards, there would soon develop a sturdy power of resistance to cold that would add much to our comfort.—American Magazine.
